why oh why when death does not aloud me
I can not cry, no I can not cry
though it shakes me to the bone but why
just tell me oh please

is it because I’m always down low
have I been like this too long to remember happiness
am I too hurt to care, is it considered my craziness
but how long to happy times, how long will I go

I in my hole of wallow, try to look up
I try I try and I do see light
the sun no it’s something that digs me deeper into the night
I now cry, I cry till my minds dried up but is it enough

but do I turn back to myself wallow
because is sadness and anger better than feeling hollow

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
